Stay
Some things are not meant to last
only to stay and linger in memories past
of moonbeams and shadows
rainy days and rainbows
and puffy white clouds that drift by way too fast
I stayed in this dream too long
my heart and soul singing a song
I thought I heard your heart singing along
But when I awoke, I was alone
and the whispers of love no longer belong
Shreds of mirror glistening in tears of glass
A jewel now lost in the long tall grass
sweetly laid down in swirling colors
that make me dizzy
and take my breath from me
Let me unlock the door
Stay with me just one second more
Hold me tight and kiss me fast
Then I'll close my eyes
Say my hard goodbyes
For this love was never meant to last
